On Monday afternoon, March
22, Bethel debaters will leave
International Airport with sev-eral
other area schools for the
National Pi Kappa Delta Speech
and Debate Tournament at the
University of Houston. This
will be Behel's first trip to the
national tournament.
The opening session of the
tournament begins Monday ev-ening,
with the presentation of
new Pi Kappa Delta chapters.
Bethel will be one of the recip-ients.
Speaking events begin on
Tuesday including Original Or-atory,
Extempore, Oral Inter-pretation,
discussion, and three
divisions of debate. Competing
in these events for Bethel will
be Allie Jo Moore, Dave Peter-son,
Dan Nelson, Carol Shim-min,
and Julie Palen. All are
members of Pi Kappa Delta.
For the debaters, this tourn-ament
is a good climax to the
most successful year in the his-tory
of Bethel debate. Debate
coach Marg Erickson summar-ized
the year when she said,
"What happens when a smaller
school such as Bethel follows
close on the victorious heels of
schools much larger and more
personelled than Bethel? It's an
exciting thing! In years past
no one was much concerned
about the opposition Bethel of-fered,
but now teams and indi-vidual
speakers worry if they
are paired against a person
from Bethel."
The purpose of the team's
trip, and even debating, is
THE RE'GENERATION, an ex-citing
and expressive new mu-sical
group will be appearing
in concert at Bethel Chapel on
March 26, 1971.
The Re'Generation is compris-ed
of eight talented young peo-ple
selected from all across
the country for their musical
talent and ability to commu-nicate,
who were polished dur-ing
five weeks of extensive
training. One pastor has stated,
"The Re'Generation is probab-ly
the most effective communi-cating
force I've ever experi-enced."
The Re'Generation is directed
by the seasoned musician, Der-ric
Johnson, who arranged all

much more important, however,
than just winning. The real pur-pose
is to represent Bethel and
our Lord. "Christians, and Chri-stian
colleges in particular, of-ten
have a dowdy image, an
image of being cloistered and
uninviting where our only con-cern
is preaching the Bible,"
said Coach Erickson.
"While sharing the love of God
is our primary concern, it can
of the group's music. He per-sonally
has written over 70
songs, done extensive musical
arranging, and produced numer-ous
record albums along with
nearly 14 years in a very suc-cessful
church music ministry.
Supported by taped orches-tral
background, The Re'Gener-ation's
concerts have been de-scribed
as surpassing the quali-ty
of their latest album, which
received a Four Star rating by
BILLBOARD MAGAZINE.
In their first year, The Re'-
Generation already have pre-sented
over 100 concerts all
across the country. Everywhere
they have been, The Re'Gener-ation
have performed for capa-city
crowds, presenting the rel-evant
message about dynamic
living.
Several members of The Re'-

performed previously with the
nationally known Spurrlow's,

they are modern people with

exciting image of a relevant

"Would you believe," said
John Goodman, campus coordi-nator,
"that the planning com-mittee
for the Spring Banquet
dragged me along to check out
every banquet facility in the
Twin Cities before they finally
decided on the Sheraton Motor
Inn?"
The Sheraton Inn is the set-ting
for Bethel's Spring Ban-quet,
March 27. It is the only
formal event this year, replac-ing
the traditional freshman-sophomore
and junior-senior
banquets.
What's so special about the
Sheraton? "It's brand new and
absolutely beautiful," said a
committee member, "and not
in the typical plush red carpet,
crystal chandelier way either.
Instead, it has a woody sort
of atmosphere."
What sold Susie Tollef son,
another member of the plan-ning
committee, on the Shera-ton
was the fact "that they
even have a big silver fountain
for the punch."
"By the way," said Dale Ber-ry,
committee chairman, after
visiting the Sheraton to make
preliminary arrangements, "I'm
really impressed!"
To encourage more people
to come, and to cut the cost,
the committee said that the
banquet will not be strictly
formal. "Girls don't have to
run out and buy a formal if
they'd rather wear a semi-for-mal
street length dress."
Guys are not obligated to
dress in tuxedoes either. After
hearing this, one Edgrenite re-marked
that he "might even
consider going now that I don't
have to wear one of those blame
penguin suits."
The evening's entertainment
promises to be great with the
Viennese Strings, a violin quar-tet
from the Minnesota Or-chestra,
providing the dinner
music. Following the evening
meal, the Theater in the Round
company will present their mu-sical
rendition of "Spoon River
Anthology."

Representation for coming
year rests in student vote
Student Senate general elections are being held in the coffee
shop today with the students casting their votes as to who will
represent them in Bethel Student government.
Up for election as president are Joel Goff and Jack Priggen,
for vice president Anne Dalton and Tom Billingmeier, plus nine
senatorial candidates.
Running for the three senator positions for the class of '74
are Barb Hegyera, Robin Robinson, and Nancy Meyer.
For two positions in class of '73 are Walter Geery and Mark
Anderson.
Running for two positions in class of '72 are Laurie
Leonard and Ray Smith. Those running for the two openings
for Senator-at-large are Mark Waller and Kris McElroy.
Just over half of the Bethel community cast their vote in
the primary election. A total of 560 were the combined total
of votes the three major candidates Goff, Mauk and Priggen
received, with a few write-ins.
The candidates have stated their positions and what they
feel the issues are in past Clarion articles and also in speeches to
the student body at chapel on Tuesday. It is now up to the student
body to cast the deciding vote.

To the Editor:
Due to the recent renewal of
the issue concerning life-style
we would like to make clear
our opinions as to this topic.
As we see it, the debate
seems to focus upon two basic
variations of the same issue:
a Christ-centered community
and rules to support and up-hold
this community.
We feel that lately "the cart
has been put before the horse,"
for discussion has focused up-on
community and rules which
should be secondary to love.
(By love, we mean a concern
for each other, and acceptance
of each other for what we are,
with a genuine concern that
is only possible from Christ.)
If we had a genuine Christ-centered
love the rules would
be secondary, Christ would be
first! This was very well por-trayed
in the statement pre-sented
to the Student Senate
March 8 through Romans 13:8-
12 and Romans 14.
It is our belief that the one
caused to stumble in Romans
14 concerns the Christian
brother who perhaps smokes
and drinks. He is likely the
"weaker brother" referred to
in this particular passage, who
will reject both Bethel and
Christ when he has these rules
forced upon him.
Should we not just show our
love for this Brother and leave
the "convicting" of "sin" to
Christ if there is any "con-victing"
to be done? Can we
force standards upon him which
we are not unanimously agreed
upon as being of Christ? We
ourselves feel these standards
are a reflection of the Pious
movement of a few centuries
ago.
The oft used rebuttal of our
position on this issue is "If
you don't like it leave it."
taking place on both public
and private campuses and that
even when they are in effect
the total costs at Bethel will
be among the lowest in the
private colleges of Minnesota."
At the same time the Board
has voted an increase in schol-arship
opportunities. "There is
every indication also that both
federal and state grants to
students will be awarded in
greater amounts next year to
This is comparable to the
"America: Love it or Leave it."
To us this is a cop-out. We
would rather say "If you don't
like it, change it."
We would press for clarifi-cation
on two positions. First,
a definition of Bethel Commu-nity
— Are the students part
of the Community? Is the ad-ministration
the Community?
Is the Conference the Commu-nity?
Secondly, are the rules of
Christ and Scripture centered,
or of Bethel and Conference
centered?
A related problem is that of
rules which are applicable
both on and off campus. As we
see it there are three basic
reasons for having the rules
effective both on and off cam-pus.
To the editor:
In reference to the Senate's
statement on life-style: I be-lieve-
we are a Christian com-munity,
striving to be more
Christian. And the road to fol-low
is not only the high road
of holy living and acknowledged
responsibility but also the low
road of humility and forgive-ness.
Love requires that we
should not cause our brother
to stumble, as the Senate's
chosen text suggests. But it also
constrains us to lift up our
brother who has stumbled. The
statement speaks of judgement
but excludes mercy. Let us be-come
aware that we are a
Christian community and that
Scriptures give explicit instruc-tions
not only for behavior but
for the restoration of those who
have misbehaved (Matt. 18:15-
assist young people to carry the
increasing costs of higher edu-cation,"
said Lundquist, "it is
our desire that no one whom
God has led to Bethel will need
to drop out because of finan-cial
reasons."
Mr. James Bragg is directing
Bethel's program of financial
aid to students. He said he
would welcome the opportunity
of talking with any student who
finds it difficult to meet the
costs of his education next
year. Mr. Bragg will work out
a total arrangement whereby
grants, work opportunities, and
loans may be arranged in ade-quate
amounts to insure con-tinuation
in college.
"Beyond all our human re-sources,"
said the administra-tion,
"we are glad that we also
can look to the Lord for His
supernatural undertaking in our
lives. This makes our walk with
Him an exciting adventure."
"Next year at Bethel looks
most promising," said President
Lundquist. "The new curricu-lum
will be in effect, the in-terim
period will be sterngth-ened,
and our faculty will be
enriched by the coming of sev-eral
new teachers.
"I trust that every student
will be able to return to share
these experiences with us and
believe that the kind of Chris-tian
education offered at col-leges
like Bethel makes the
extra effort and cost worth-while."
1—Harm to ourselves as
individuals! However, we are
individuals in God's eyes
therefore it is between God
and ourselves.
2—Harm to another Bro-ther!
This issue is so open
to debate that we feel it is
quite unlikely to have any
serious effect.
3—Harm to Bethel's repu-tation!
If this is justification
we feel our focus has been
lifted from Christ and placed
upon Bethel.
We are willing to submit to
rules when we are on campus,
but we feel that our own par-ticular
life-styles should be al-lowed
to continue when we are
not on this campus.

We would whole-heartedly
say amen, and we would share

However we would not talk
about misbehavior for that is
what children do. Let us call
disobedience by its name. Yes
we must always truly forgive
but can we have true restora-tion

Roots in Jesus Christ
naturally result in fruit
by Bob Miko
As we turn the inner eye on the Bethel Campus life-style
we see the campus in a quiet lull before the storm. The
Senate has made the first move by adopting an all encompassing
life style statement. The second move was made by the student
opinion on life-style. The two clashed on the playing field
of emotion. Who shall emerge as the victor ?
There is a third group that claims there need not be a
battle, that perhaps we as a community are lost in the sinful
quest of introspection. That we are spending too much time
in ourselves in lieu of reaching our brother with the Good News.
And the fruit of this quest can be seen: factions, strife, animosity,
ill temper, dissensions Can this be from the Holy Spirit
of God?
Yahweh, in His word revelation, tells us a man's life is
like a tree. Looking at brother tree we learn a unique lesson.
When his roots are deep in the earth. sucking up his nourish-ment,
he bears luscious fruit. But when brother tree's roots are
in himself, he bears no good fruit, for he was not made to live
unto himself.
So it is with man. When our roots are in our lower nature,
we do not bear good fruit, but rather, fruit manifested in
strife, licentiousness, ill temper, dessentions, animosity, envy,
drunkeness, carousing and the like. Against this fruitage God
has given us law. When our roots are deep in Jesus Chrst, the
Son of the Living God, we bear fruit also. This fruit is manifested
in love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, benevolence, good
faith, meekness, self restraint, for this is the fruit of the Spirit
of Yahweh. This is the way we were made to live, in fellowship
with Him, our creator. When we live in Him, there is no law.
Where does the fruit come from? From the tree's hard
work? Nix! Fruit is what comes naturally on the outside of
the tree when his roots are in the ground.
Man is the same way. Where his roots are, in his lower
nature or in Christ, determines what the fruit will be like.
You can not work for the fruit of the Spirit, neither can
you pray specifically for it. It comes naturally as a result of
our abiding in Christ.
Peace in life-style will come naturally when we start doing
Christ's work in the community around us. When we start moving
out, as the Body of Christ, instead of living "a holy and pure
life in our ivory castle." When we start living Christ as a com-munity,
the life style will follow.

letters to the editor
In keeping with developments
on nearly every college cam-pus
in America, Bethel will
increase its charges to students
next year. According to Presi-dent
Lundquist, this is due to
the continuing inflationary
spiral in our nation and to
upgrading of the educational
program itself.
Tuition will be increased by
$125 per year, board by $25 per
year, and room by $25 per year.
This means that each semester
tuition will cost $900, including
one-half of the interim cost
and the health and accident fee;
board will cost $225 per sem-ester;
and room charges will
range between $155 to 195.50.
The Board of Regents said
they were reluctant to increase
costs again but felt that it had
no alternative. "It is conscious
that these increases are modest

Campus Crusade has been
called "One of the best oppor-tunities
for working and wit-nessing
for Christ." Its purpose
is to present Jesus Christ as
a vital force in the lives of
students today.
They believe poverty, racism
and social injustice are symp-toms
of man's basic problems:
ego-centeredness and rebellion
against the infinite-personal
God. The only way to solve
these problems is for man
to be changed from within.
Jay Swisher, 1970 Bethel
graduate, believes that this
change can only come through
the power of Jesus Christ. For
this reason he is working with
Campus Crusade on the State
University in Tallahassee, Flori-da
with seven other staff mem-bers.
Jay became interested in C.C.
his senior year here at Bethel.
"I had formed an exciting life
of a personal relationship to
Christ that was meaningful to
me," he said in a recent letter.
"I became frustrated due to the
fact that I wanted other peo-ple
to experience the same
thing, but I did not know how
to tell them."
Jay soon became active in
an action group associated with
C.C. where he "learned" how
to share his faith in a way
that would communicate with
people.
Jay's training for C.C. staff
took place for three weeks at
Arrowhead Springs in San Ber-nardino,
California. He said it
was hard to believe how much
they covered in those three
weeks. "I've found that the
session taught me just about
everything I would really need
in my ministry.
"A day in the life of a Cam-work.
When asked why he
chose this particular univerity,
he replied, "When I was in the
service, I was stationed near
there, so I was able to get
my Masters Degree there. Be-sides
its convenience, it also
has an outstanding music de-partment.
The competition at
the university is quite keen, for
though there are 8,000 students,
about 75% of them are graduate
students."
Dr. Whitinger's topic was
"Hymnody of the Early Ameri-can
Indian Mission." "It was
important that I do as much'
basic research as possible," he
said, "so I spent one whole
summer in the New York Pub-lic
Library alone. They had the
most complete collection of In-dian
hymns in the country —
the Eames' Collection. There
were literally over a thousand
books to read, and I read all
of them."
Though there was a lot of
reading, Whitinger said there
were field trips to compensate.
He travelled to Kallisel, Mon-tana,
and to the northwest
Flathead Indians. In the Mid-west,
there were trips to the
Mamacs in Canada, the Sioux
in Minnesota, and the Chippe-wa
in Wisconsin.
"The history of the hymnody
in the missions brought up
some interesting facts," Dr.
Whitinger said. "Did you rea-pus
Crusade for Christ staff
member is really a busy one,"
said Jay. "It usually starts
around 7 a.m. and goes until
about mid-night. Mornings are
taken up by staff meetings,
paper work, personal study and
errands.
"From noon on is considered
campus time mainly spent in
two-by-two witnessing and fol-low-
up. Other things are action
groups and leadership training
class every Friday night. Satur-days
are supposed to be the
day off but ministry activities
often cut into that. Many of
the weekends are taken up by
retreats or action group out-tings.
"The goal of Campus Crusade
is to work in cooperation with
other Christian groups such as
Navigators and Inter-Varsity,
to help fulfill the Great Corn-mission
in the U.S. by 1976 and
the entire world by 1980. This
will be accomplished by the
moving of the Holy Spirit as we
take the initiative of presenting
the claims of Christ to the
people."
Jay found that his' biggest
problems on the campus "come
from the students who have
attended church all their lives.
They know all the words to
sound like Christians, but they
never actually invited Jesus in-to
their lives.
"They justify themselves by
openly and actively criticizing
Crusade, perhaps because they
see it as a threat to their own
self-righteousness. Another big
problem is lack of time to
spend on a one-to-one basis
with new and older Christians."
Jay is being supported by
one church and several indi-viduals,
including many friends
from Bethel. He has been re-ceiving
about $275.00 per
month which is considered
lize that the Indians in the
Southwest territory had an or-gan
and were singing 16th Cen-tury
polyphony 100 years be-for
they had anything like that
in Boston? I also believe that
the importance of this music,
carried by the various mission-aries,
has never been told. Dur-ing
that time, music was often
their main means of communi-cation!"
Though Dr. Whitinger enjoy-ed
tracing the missions musical
progress westward, he felt like
most students do after finish-ing
a long course of study. "To
be done? It's a relief!"
Yet, one is never done learn-ing.
"Now that I've finally got
this work finished, I hope to
take advantage of my oppor-tunity
to travel through the
Navy. I'd like to continue my
education abroad and do some
Post-Doctorate work at an In-strumental
Music Center there."
In spite of being able to
utilize various other schools,
Dr. Whitinger still enjoys Beth-el.
"I really enjoy working with
the kids here. It's refreshing.
There is also a wonderful op-portunity
for Christian fellow-ship
among faculty members
with outstanding scholarship."
Evidently Bethel and Dr. Whit-inger
share a mutual feeling.
They both feel privileged to
have each other.

In an effort to "promote intellectual discussion on campus,"
Frank Croncke, member of the Minnesota Eight, addressed a
group of about 40 at Bethel last Friday. Speaking on the topic,
"Religious Conscience and the Draft," Croncke presented the
religious grounds for his attempts to destroy draft records
during 1970. According to those who attended, the meeting ended
in open, intellectual discussion rather than emotional controversy.
The Hot Corner
The track team is suffering from the same plague that hit
the wrestling and cross country teams. There is a lack of
personnel necessary to fill the team out to normal proportions.
Most of the participants out are quite good. However, not too
many track meets are won with an eight man squad.

The Royal diamondmen continue their indoor workouts,
anticipating a spring trip to Florida. With 13 returnees from
last year and a host of freshman hopefuls, the squad looks to

Those who missed the Minnesota State Hockey Champion-ship
between Edina and Roseau really missed a great athletic
contest. Both teams played top-notch hockey, checking fiercely
and skating well. The third period included some of the most
exciting hockey action I've ever seen.

One comment on the Clay-Frazier tiff last week: It seems
as though the way the fight was scored, depended on whether
or not one agreed with Clay and his position on his military
hassle. Some writers had it scored for Clay by as much as
9-5-1. It appears as though the U.S. Army, not Joe Frazier, is
the heavyweight champion of the world.

"I love the game so much I'd play for nothing," says the
baseball superstar after signing for $100,000 plus. Contract
wars may prove to be the downfall of both the Twins and
the Reds.
But a concensus of 13 experts favor Baltimore as an over-whelming
favorite to repeat in the A.L. East. Minnesota is
favored over California in the West. In the National League,
Cincinnati remains a slight favorite over Los Angeles, and
Pittsburgh is picked to repeat over Chicago.

International recipe creates meal,
atmosphere, sensitivity, friendship
by Brenda Barth and
Kym Muir
To prepare a recipe for Inter-national
Delight, begin by as-sembling
ingredients March 20
in the Bethel cafeteria. These
ingredients may be of any na-tionality,
race or creed, Bethel
or non-Bethel, but all with a
desire to complete this hetero-geneous
mixture. Hopefully,
this endeavor will provide a
springboard for continuing
deep cross-cultural friendships.
Approximately 100 Bethel and
100 foreign guests are register-ed
for the dinner. The foreign
guests are residents of the Mex-ican
districts in the Twin Cities,
and students at the University,
Hamline and Macalester.
Rather than using last year's
format, where each person
brought his own guest, one may
bring his own guest, be assigned
to someone, or mingle with the
international guests at random.
The following ingredients will
be stirred in for the evening's
atmosphere: checkered table-cloths
set off by centerpieces
composed_ of national flags, spi-cy
incense, glowing candles, and
Carmen Shepherd playing soft-ly
at the piano.
The meal is the next ingred-ient;
to be added slowly, one
course at a time. Beginning
with rice curry, Swedish meat-balls
and Lebonese bread, slow-.
ly sift down to the variety of
national desserts including Cre-ma
Mexicana, Frukt sopa, Julag
Jamins, GrOt and Banana Brod.
The program, featuring fla-vorful
entertainment, can then
be gently folded in. Entertain-ment
will combine singer Phil-ip
Ahn, Las Vetanas, a Spanish
singing quartet, a Tahitian
drummer, and a Phillipino
dance. International guests are
also encouraged to wear and
model their native attire. Jeed,
Bethel student from Thailand,
will be sharing her testimony
with the group. Pastor Lawson
is master of ceremonies for the
evening.
The purpose for creating the
entire dish is to reveal the even-ing's
theme "In Him there is no
east or west." Those involved
in the planning said they hoped

If you're a prospective or an
experienced actor, and happen
to be looking for some type of
theater involvement, Joe Sax,
in-resident director at the Ed-yth

wish to help the stage crew,
ly that our set of values is not
the only one existing in the
world. "We hope our sensitiv-ity
towards others will deepen
and that we can share that
which transcends culture."
"Hopefully contacts can be
kept after the evening and
banquet are over," said one
planning member. No further
plans for group action within
the school year are being made
presently, leaving all up to
individual initiative. However,
Mrs. Bohne is working on a
possible gathering this summer
for Bethel faculty families, in-ternational

Creators of this dish are Miss

again be more than happy to
accomodate you.
The Edyth Bush Theater, lo-cated
in Highland Village, St.
Paul, is in Joe Sax' words, "a
100% community theater." It
is owned by Hamline University,
but is in no way dominated or
controlled by it. The theater
was donated a few years ago,
primarily intended as a medium
through which Hamline reaches
the community.
The plays presented at the
theater cover a wide spectrum
of tastes, from "summer-stock
garbage comedy to
Shakespeare." Some of the play-wrights
"interpreted" there in-clude
Moliere, Shaw, Ibsen, Mil-ler,
Samuel Becket and even
the comic Woody Allen.
It's next play is The Birthday
Party by Harold Pinter, run-ning
from March 26—April 17.
It is an adult play with serious
psychological interpretations
made evident through the char-acters.

To Cathy Bakken the most
valuable aspect of Bethel is
"education from a Christian

She graduated from the Uni-versity
of North Dakota, and is

courses she taught second sem-ester
last year. She came to Be-thel

to teach.

Because the scope of the
Bush is to be a community thea-ter,
there is opportunity for
anyone who has a real desire
to become involved.
The work load for cast mem-bers
is less than that of most
colleges. Rehearsals are Monday
through Friday, 7:30 to 10:30,
and on Sunday from 2:00 to
5:00. They run for four and a
half weeks, as compared to a
college play which usually re-hearses
for five or six weeks.
Mr. Sax is a vigorous man and

doing, promoting a bond be-tween

that is sometimes lost in larger

"The courses I teach are dif-ferent
in nature, and therefore
my approaches for each are
different. I guess I'm tied in
the strings of structure, how-ever,
and in both courses I
dish out information and have
it fed back to me on a test.
This is true more so in statis-tics

because statistics is a

psychology allows for
a little more creativity and orig-inality
on the part of the stu-dents."
Her basic philosophy of ed-ucation
aims toward "synthesis
and relating courses not only in
the past tense but in perspective
of one's goals and priorities in
life. Education should also be
an experience of learning rath-er
than memorizing, and the jog
of it should be an intrinsic
sort of thing and not due to a
merit badge in the form of a

On Monday afternoon, March
22, Bethel debaters will leave
International Airport with sev-eral
other area schools for the
National Pi Kappa Delta Speech
and Debate Tournament at the
University of Houston. This
will be Behel's first trip to the
national tournament.
The opening session of the
tournament begins Monday ev-ening,
with the presentation of
new Pi Kappa Delta chapters.
Bethel will be one of the recip-ients.
Speaking events begin on
Tuesday including Original Or-atory,
Extempore, Oral Inter-pretation,
discussion, and three
divisions of debate. Competing
in these events for Bethel will
be Allie Jo Moore, Dave Peter-son,
Dan Nelson, Carol Shim-min,
and Julie Palen. All are
members of Pi Kappa Delta.
For the debaters, this tourn-ament
is a good climax to the
most successful year in the his-tory
of Bethel debate. Debate
coach Marg Erickson summar-ized
the year when she said,
"What happens when a smaller
school such as Bethel follows
close on the victorious heels of
schools much larger and more
personelled than Bethel? It's an
exciting thing! In years past
no one was much concerned
about the opposition Bethel of-fered,
but now teams and indi-vidual
speakers worry if they
are paired against a person
from Bethel."
The purpose of the team's
trip, and even debating, is
THE RE'GENERATION, an ex-citing

The Re'Generation is compris-ed
of eight talented young peo-ple
selected from all across
the country for their musical
talent and ability to commu-nicate,
who were polished dur-ing
five weeks of extensive
training. One pastor has stated,
"The Re'Generation is probab-ly

force I've ever experi-enced."
The Re'Generation is directed

much more important, however,
than just winning. The real pur-pose
is to represent Bethel and
our Lord. "Christians, and Chri-stian
colleges in particular, of-ten
have a dowdy image, an
image of being cloistered and

is preaching the Bible,"
said Coach Erickson.
"While sharing the love of God

songs, done extensive musical

Supported by taped orches-tral

concerts have been de-scribed
as surpassing the quali-ty

received a Four Star rating by

"Would you believe," said
John Goodman, campus coordi-nator,
"that the planning com-mittee
for the Spring Banquet
dragged me along to check out
every banquet facility in the
Twin Cities before they finally
decided on the Sheraton Motor
Inn?"
The Sheraton Inn is the set-ting
for Bethel's Spring Ban-quet,
March 27. It is the only
formal event this year, replac-ing
the traditional freshman-sophomore
and junior-senior
banquets.
What's so special about the
Sheraton? "It's brand new and
absolutely beautiful," said a
committee member, "and not
in the typical plush red carpet,
crystal chandelier way either.
Instead, it has a woody sort
of atmosphere."
What sold Susie Tollef son,
another member of the plan-ning
committee, on the Shera-ton
was the fact "that they
even have a big silver fountain
for the punch."
"By the way," said Dale Ber-ry,
committee chairman, after
visiting the Sheraton to make
preliminary arrangements, "I'm
really impressed!"
To encourage more people
to come, and to cut the cost,
the committee said that the
banquet will not be strictly
formal. "Girls don't have to
run out and buy a formal if
they'd rather wear a semi-for-mal
street length dress."
Guys are not obligated to
dress in tuxedoes either. After
hearing this, one Edgrenite re-marked
that he "might even
consider going now that I don't
have to wear one of those blame
penguin suits."
The evening's entertainment
promises to be great with the
Viennese Strings, a violin quar-tet
from the Minnesota Or-chestra,
providing the dinner
music. Following the evening
meal, the Theater in the Round
company will present their mu-sical
rendition of "Spoon River
Anthology."

Representation for coming
year rests in student vote
Student Senate general elections are being held in the coffee
shop today with the students casting their votes as to who will
represent them in Bethel Student government.
Up for election as president are Joel Goff and Jack Priggen,
for vice president Anne Dalton and Tom Billingmeier, plus nine
senatorial candidates.
Running for the three senator positions for the class of '74
are Barb Hegyera, Robin Robinson, and Nancy Meyer.
For two positions in class of '73 are Walter Geery and Mark
Anderson.
Running for two positions in class of '72 are Laurie
Leonard and Ray Smith. Those running for the two openings
for Senator-at-large are Mark Waller and Kris McElroy.
Just over half of the Bethel community cast their vote in
the primary election. A total of 560 were the combined total
of votes the three major candidates Goff, Mauk and Priggen
received, with a few write-ins.
The candidates have stated their positions and what they
feel the issues are in past Clarion articles and also in speeches to
the student body at chapel on Tuesday. It is now up to the student
body to cast the deciding vote.

To the Editor:
Due to the recent renewal of
the issue concerning life-style
we would like to make clear
our opinions as to this topic.
As we see it, the debate
seems to focus upon two basic
variations of the same issue:
a Christ-centered community
and rules to support and up-hold
this community.
We feel that lately "the cart
has been put before the horse,"
for discussion has focused up-on
community and rules which
should be secondary to love.
(By love, we mean a concern
for each other, and acceptance
of each other for what we are,
with a genuine concern that
is only possible from Christ.)
If we had a genuine Christ-centered
love the rules would
be secondary, Christ would be
first! This was very well por-trayed
in the statement pre-sented
to the Student Senate
March 8 through Romans 13:8-
12 and Romans 14.
It is our belief that the one
caused to stumble in Romans
14 concerns the Christian
brother who perhaps smokes
and drinks. He is likely the
"weaker brother" referred to
in this particular passage, who
will reject both Bethel and
Christ when he has these rules
forced upon him.
Should we not just show our
love for this Brother and leave
the "convicting" of "sin" to
Christ if there is any "con-victing"
to be done? Can we
force standards upon him which
we are not unanimously agreed
upon as being of Christ? We
ourselves feel these standards
are a reflection of the Pious
movement of a few centuries
ago.
The oft used rebuttal of our
position on this issue is "If
you don't like it leave it."
taking place on both public
and private campuses and that
even when they are in effect
the total costs at Bethel will
be among the lowest in the
private colleges of Minnesota."
At the same time the Board
has voted an increase in schol-arship
opportunities. "There is
every indication also that both
federal and state grants to
students will be awarded in
greater amounts next year to
This is comparable to the
"America: Love it or Leave it."
To us this is a cop-out. We
would rather say "If you don't
like it, change it."
We would press for clarifi-cation
on two positions. First,
a definition of Bethel Commu-nity
— Are the students part
of the Community? Is the ad-ministration
the Community?
Is the Conference the Commu-nity?
Secondly, are the rules of
Christ and Scripture centered,
or of Bethel and Conference
centered?
A related problem is that of
rules which are applicable
both on and off campus. As we
see it there are three basic
reasons for having the rules
effective both on and off cam-pus.
To the editor:
In reference to the Senate's
statement on life-style: I be-lieve-
we are a Christian com-munity,
striving to be more
Christian. And the road to fol-low
is not only the high road
of holy living and acknowledged
responsibility but also the low
road of humility and forgive-ness.
Love requires that we
should not cause our brother
to stumble, as the Senate's
chosen text suggests. But it also
constrains us to lift up our
brother who has stumbled. The
statement speaks of judgement
but excludes mercy. Let us be-come
aware that we are a
Christian community and that
Scriptures give explicit instruc-tions
not only for behavior but
for the restoration of those who
have misbehaved (Matt. 18:15-
assist young people to carry the
increasing costs of higher edu-cation,"
said Lundquist, "it is
our desire that no one whom
God has led to Bethel will need
to drop out because of finan-cial
reasons."
Mr. James Bragg is directing
Bethel's program of financial
aid to students. He said he
would welcome the opportunity
of talking with any student who
finds it difficult to meet the
costs of his education next
year. Mr. Bragg will work out
a total arrangement whereby
grants, work opportunities, and
loans may be arranged in ade-quate
amounts to insure con-tinuation
in college.
"Beyond all our human re-sources,"
said the administra-tion,
"we are glad that we also
can look to the Lord for His
supernatural undertaking in our
lives. This makes our walk with
Him an exciting adventure."
"Next year at Bethel looks
most promising," said President
Lundquist. "The new curricu-lum
will be in effect, the in-terim
period will be sterngth-ened,
and our faculty will be
enriched by the coming of sev-eral
new teachers.
"I trust that every student
will be able to return to share
these experiences with us and
believe that the kind of Chris-tian
education offered at col-leges
like Bethel makes the
extra effort and cost worth-while."
1—Harm to ourselves as
individuals! However, we are
individuals in God's eyes
therefore it is between God
and ourselves.
2—Harm to another Bro-ther!
This issue is so open
to debate that we feel it is
quite unlikely to have any
serious effect.
3—Harm to Bethel's repu-tation!
If this is justification
we feel our focus has been
lifted from Christ and placed
upon Bethel.
We are willing to submit to
rules when we are on campus,
but we feel that our own par-ticular
life-styles should be al-lowed
to continue when we are
not on this campus.

We would whole-heartedly

we must always truly forgive
but can we have true restora-tion

But enough . . . may God for-give
us all for our excess rhe-toric.

Roots in Jesus Christ
naturally result in fruit
by Bob Miko
As we turn the inner eye on the Bethel Campus life-style
we see the campus in a quiet lull before the storm. The
Senate has made the first move by adopting an all encompassing
life style statement. The second move was made by the student
opinion on life-style. The two clashed on the playing field
of emotion. Who shall emerge as the victor ?
There is a third group that claims there need not be a
battle, that perhaps we as a community are lost in the sinful
quest of introspection. That we are spending too much time
in ourselves in lieu of reaching our brother with the Good News.
And the fruit of this quest can be seen: factions, strife, animosity,
ill temper, dissensions Can this be from the Holy Spirit
of God?
Yahweh, in His word revelation, tells us a man's life is
like a tree. Looking at brother tree we learn a unique lesson.
When his roots are deep in the earth. sucking up his nourish-ment,
he bears luscious fruit. But when brother tree's roots are
in himself, he bears no good fruit, for he was not made to live
unto himself.
So it is with man. When our roots are in our lower nature,
we do not bear good fruit, but rather, fruit manifested in
strife, licentiousness, ill temper, dessentions, animosity, envy,
drunkeness, carousing and the like. Against this fruitage God
has given us law. When our roots are deep in Jesus Chrst, the
Son of the Living God, we bear fruit also. This fruit is manifested
in love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, benevolence, good
faith, meekness, self restraint, for this is the fruit of the Spirit
of Yahweh. This is the way we were made to live, in fellowship
with Him, our creator. When we live in Him, there is no law.
Where does the fruit come from? From the tree's hard
work? Nix! Fruit is what comes naturally on the outside of
the tree when his roots are in the ground.
Man is the same way. Where his roots are, in his lower
nature or in Christ, determines what the fruit will be like.
You can not work for the fruit of the Spirit, neither can
you pray specifically for it. It comes naturally as a result of
our abiding in Christ.
Peace in life-style will come naturally when we start doing
Christ's work in the community around us. When we start moving
out, as the Body of Christ, instead of living "a holy and pure
life in our ivory castle." When we start living Christ as a com-munity,
the life style will follow.

letters to the editor
In keeping with developments
on nearly every college cam-pus
in America, Bethel will
increase its charges to students
next year. According to Presi-dent
Lundquist, this is due to
the continuing inflationary
spiral in our nation and to
upgrading of the educational
program itself.
Tuition will be increased by
$125 per year, board by $25 per
year, and room by $25 per year.
This means that each semester
tuition will cost $900, including
one-half of the interim cost
and the health and accident fee;
board will cost $225 per sem-ester;
and room charges will
range between $155 to 195.50.
The Board of Regents said
they were reluctant to increase
costs again but felt that it had
no alternative. "It is conscious
that these increases are modest

by Cindy Rostollan
"It has taken me between
six and seven years to actually
get my Ph.D.," said Dr. Julius
Whitinger, head of the Music
Department. On March 4, his
work was completed and the
degree sought for so long, was
won.
Because he did his work for
the Catholic University of Am-erica
in Washington, D.C., Dr.
Whitinger had to take his sab-batical

(amounting to two years, with
two full summers) to do his

Campus Crusade has been
called "One of the best oppor-tunities
for working and wit-nessing
for Christ." Its purpose
is to present Jesus Christ as
a vital force in the lives of
students today.
They believe poverty, racism
and social injustice are symp-toms
of man's basic problems:
ego-centeredness and rebellion
against the infinite-personal
God. The only way to solve
these problems is for man
to be changed from within.
Jay Swisher, 1970 Bethel
graduate, believes that this
change can only come through
the power of Jesus Christ. For
this reason he is working with
Campus Crusade on the State
University in Tallahassee, Flori-da
with seven other staff mem-bers.
Jay became interested in C.C.
his senior year here at Bethel.
"I had formed an exciting life
of a personal relationship to
Christ that was meaningful to
me," he said in a recent letter.
"I became frustrated due to the
fact that I wanted other peo-ple
to experience the same
thing, but I did not know how
to tell them."
Jay soon became active in
an action group associated with
C.C. where he "learned" how
to share his faith in a way
that would communicate with
people.
Jay's training for C.C. staff
took place for three weeks at
Arrowhead Springs in San Ber-nardino,
California. He said it
was hard to believe how much
they covered in those three
weeks. "I've found that the
session taught me just about
everything I would really need
in my ministry.
"A day in the life of a Cam-work.
When asked why he
chose this particular univerity,
he replied, "When I was in the
service, I was stationed near
there, so I was able to get
my Masters Degree there. Be-sides
its convenience, it also
has an outstanding music de-partment.
The competition at
the university is quite keen, for
though there are 8,000 students,
about 75% of them are graduate
students."
Dr. Whitinger's topic was
"Hymnody of the Early Ameri-can
Indian Mission." "It was
important that I do as much'
basic research as possible," he
said, "so I spent one whole
summer in the New York Pub-lic
Library alone. They had the
most complete collection of In-dian
hymns in the country —
the Eames' Collection. There
were literally over a thousand
books to read, and I read all
of them."
Though there was a lot of
reading, Whitinger said there
were field trips to compensate.
He travelled to Kallisel, Mon-tana,
and to the northwest
Flathead Indians. In the Mid-west,
there were trips to the
Mamacs in Canada, the Sioux
in Minnesota, and the Chippe-wa
in Wisconsin.
"The history of the hymnody
in the missions brought up
some interesting facts," Dr.
Whitinger said. "Did you rea-pus
Crusade for Christ staff
member is really a busy one,"
said Jay. "It usually starts
around 7 a.m. and goes until
about mid-night. Mornings are
taken up by staff meetings,
paper work, personal study and
errands.
"From noon on is considered
campus time mainly spent in
two-by-two witnessing and fol-low-
up. Other things are action
groups and leadership training
class every Friday night. Satur-days
are supposed to be the
day off but ministry activities
often cut into that. Many of
the weekends are taken up by
retreats or action group out-tings.
"The goal of Campus Crusade
is to work in cooperation with
other Christian groups such as
Navigators and Inter-Varsity,
to help fulfill the Great Corn-mission
in the U.S. by 1976 and
the entire world by 1980. This
will be accomplished by the
moving of the Holy Spirit as we
take the initiative of presenting
the claims of Christ to the
people."
Jay found that his' biggest
problems on the campus "come
from the students who have
attended church all their lives.
They know all the words to
sound like Christians, but they
never actually invited Jesus in-to
their lives.
"They justify themselves by
openly and actively criticizing
Crusade, perhaps because they
see it as a threat to their own
self-righteousness. Another big
problem is lack of time to
spend on a one-to-one basis
with new and older Christians."
Jay is being supported by
one church and several indi-viduals,
including many friends
from Bethel. He has been re-ceiving
about $275.00 per
month which is considered
lize that the Indians in the
Southwest territory had an or-gan
and were singing 16th Cen-tury
polyphony 100 years be-for
they had anything like that
in Boston? I also believe that
the importance of this music,
carried by the various mission-aries,
has never been told. Dur-ing
that time, music was often
their main means of communi-cation!"
Though Dr. Whitinger enjoy-ed
tracing the missions musical
progress westward, he felt like
most students do after finish-ing
a long course of study. "To
be done? It's a relief!"
Yet, one is never done learn-ing.
"Now that I've finally got
this work finished, I hope to
take advantage of my oppor-tunity
to travel through the
Navy. I'd like to continue my
education abroad and do some
Post-Doctorate work at an In-strumental
Music Center there."
In spite of being able to
utilize various other schools,
Dr. Whitinger still enjoys Beth-el.
"I really enjoy working with
the kids here. It's refreshing.
There is also a wonderful op-portunity
for Christian fellow-ship
among faculty members
with outstanding scholarship."
Evidently Bethel and Dr. Whit-inger
share a mutual feeling.
They both feel privileged to
have each other.

In an effort to "promote intellectual discussion on campus,"
Frank Croncke, member of the Minnesota Eight, addressed a
group of about 40 at Bethel last Friday. Speaking on the topic,
"Religious Conscience and the Draft," Croncke presented the
religious grounds for his attempts to destroy draft records
during 1970. According to those who attended, the meeting ended
in open, intellectual discussion rather than emotional controversy.

The track team is suffering from the same plague that hit

Most of the participants out are quite good. However, not too

One comment on the Clay-Frazier tiff last week: It seems
as though the way the fight was scored, depended on whether
or not one agreed with Clay and his position on his military
hassle. Some writers had it scored for Clay by as much as
9-5-1. It appears as though the U.S. Army, not Joe Frazier, is
the heavyweight champion of the world.

Cincinnati remains a slight favorite over Los Angeles, and

International recipe creates meal,
atmosphere, sensitivity, friendship
by Brenda Barth and
Kym Muir
To prepare a recipe for Inter-national
Delight, begin by as-sembling
ingredients March 20
in the Bethel cafeteria. These
ingredients may be of any na-tionality,
race or creed, Bethel
or non-Bethel, but all with a
desire to complete this hetero-geneous
mixture. Hopefully,
this endeavor will provide a
springboard for continuing
deep cross-cultural friendships.
Approximately 100 Bethel and
100 foreign guests are register-ed
for the dinner. The foreign
guests are residents of the Mex-ican
districts in the Twin Cities,
and students at the University,
Hamline and Macalester.
Rather than using last year's
format, where each person
brought his own guest, one may
bring his own guest, be assigned
to someone, or mingle with the
international guests at random.
The following ingredients will
be stirred in for the evening's
atmosphere: checkered table-cloths
set off by centerpieces
composed_ of national flags, spi-cy
incense, glowing candles, and
Carmen Shepherd playing soft-ly
at the piano.
The meal is the next ingred-ient;
to be added slowly, one
course at a time. Beginning
with rice curry, Swedish meat-balls
and Lebonese bread, slow-.
ly sift down to the variety of
national desserts including Cre-ma
Mexicana, Frukt sopa, Julag
Jamins, GrOt and Banana Brod.
The program, featuring fla-vorful
entertainment, can then
be gently folded in. Entertain-ment
will combine singer Phil-ip
Ahn, Las Vetanas, a Spanish
singing quartet, a Tahitian
drummer, and a Phillipino
dance. International guests are
also encouraged to wear and
model their native attire. Jeed,
Bethel student from Thailand,
will be sharing her testimony
with the group. Pastor Lawson
is master of ceremonies for the
evening.
The purpose for creating the
entire dish is to reveal the even-ing's
theme "In Him there is no
east or west." Those involved
in the planning said they hoped
the internationals could help us
see and understand more clear-by

If you're a prospective or an

the only one existing in the

towards others will deepen
and that we can share that
which transcends culture."
"Hopefully contacts can be
kept after the evening and
banquet are over," said one
planning member. No further
plans for group action within
the school year are being made
presently, leaving all up to
individual initiative. However,
Mrs. Bohne is working on a
possible gathering this summer
for Bethel faculty families, in-ternational

Creators of this dish are Miss

again be more than happy to
accomodate you.
The Edyth Bush Theater, lo-cated
in Highland Village, St.
Paul, is in Joe Sax' words, "a
100% community theater." It
is owned by Hamline University,
but is in no way dominated or
controlled by it. The theater
was donated a few years ago,
primarily intended as a medium
through which Hamline reaches
the community.
The plays presented at the
theater cover a wide spectrum
of tastes, from "summer-stock
garbage comedy to
Shakespeare." Some of the play-wrights
"interpreted" there in-clude
Moliere, Shaw, Ibsen, Mil-ler,
Samuel Becket and even
the comic Woody Allen.
It's next play is The Birthday
Party by Harold Pinter, run-ning
from March 26—April 17.
It is an adult play with serious
psychological interpretations
made evident through the char-acters.

Because the scope of the
Bush is to be a community thea-ter,
there is opportunity for
anyone who has a real desire
to become involved.
The work load for cast mem-bers
is less than that of most
colleges. Rehearsals are Monday
through Friday, 7:30 to 10:30,
and on Sunday from 2:00 to
5:00. They run for four and a
half weeks, as compared to a
college play which usually re-hearses
for five or six weeks.

approach education from a
Christian standpoint, and in so
doing, promoting a bond be-tween
its students and faculty
that is sometimes lost in larger
schools and universities.
"The courses I teach are dif-ferent
in nature, and therefore
my approaches for each are
different. I guess I'm tied in
the strings of structure, how-ever,
and in both courses I
dish out information and have
it fed back to me on a test.
This is true more so in statis-tics
than in experimental psy-chology,
because statistics is a
basic course, whereas experi-mental
psychology allows for
a little more creativity and orig-inality
on the part of the stu-dents."
Her basic philosophy of ed-ucation
aims toward "synthesis
and relating courses not only in
the past tense but in perspective
of one's goals and priorities in
life. Education should also be
an experience of learning rath-er
than memorizing, and the jog
of it should be an intrinsic
sort of thing and not due to a
merit badge in the form of a
grade."
